Wait, Target has exclusives?

Just got back from Gamestop. There was one other person (a 20-something couple, they were just big Disney fans, really). The dude working was bummed he had to wait til 5 to get out and go play the game.
Violet was only on pre-order, so yes, she seems like she might be elusive, so i just picked up Dash, and got an extra power-pack on top of my free one. I opened up and i already have a double of Carl's Cane, but on my 2nd pack, popped open a rare! Got the Astro-Blaster car! (Also, the rare's have a lenticular, if that wasn't known).
Pretty pumped to actually play the game now, though.
Also, if anyone needs the Carl's Cane disc, i will trade for literally any other disc, since i only have the Nemo and the Tangled Texture discs.

How many hours left? 9 then?
Please share it when your video is ready.
The game is not out here until Tuesday.
Walmart are selling the sidekick and villains packs at half price.

I just ordered the sidekicks pack as a birthday gift for my wife even though I'm not sure when we'll get the main game.

No. I meant the 50% off the Cars and Lone Rangers sets. Sorry for any confusion.
Toys R Us has the exclusive crystal Lightning McQueen and then had a buy one get 50% off on the sidekicks and villains packs, and then the exclusive power disk packs.

No that'd be 3 hours 15 minutes from now assuming 12:00 PM CST.

Is the game any good or do people just collect the figures? It seems really child/family oriented. My daughter may like it. Seems pricey though.
Not really any reviews out yet. But so far I've not seen many people that bought the figures without the game.
And yeah it can definitely get expensive.

I couldn't wait and had to go to Wal Mart last night at midnight to see if anything was there and low and behold they had stuff out.
Got the 360 Starter Pack and Davy Jones. They gave me a $15 credit card. I guess that was part of their deal.
No Figure Packs, Discs, or Playsets were out. But I'll go to Target for those and hope sometime today they have the 1/2 off figure packs out by then.
Only me and one other couple were there.

Yeah. Money is definitely going to be wasted for sure on those. I'm sure we'll be having some kind of trade thread happening soon.

I didn't expect it would have a huge launch rush but the sales should be massive over Christmas you'd hope
Yeah, the lukewarm reception at store openings isn't that surprising to me at all. Skylanders was the same way when it came out...once all the kids became aware of it's existance, then they started selling like crazy.

Time for my escapades.
I went to Target and picked up my copy for Wii U, along with Randall as my free fig, a power disc pack(which was also free), and the Lone Ranger playset.
I then went to Walmart, hoping to get the $14.99 Sidekicks pack, but came to see....this abysmal layout.
This was LITERALLY all Walmart had. No accessories, no 3 character packs, what you see is the entirety of their Infinity stock.
I then went to TRU, and got Crystal lightning and Violet. Plus the TRU gold disc pack and a normal pack.
So here's my loot;
As for the discs? I think I got some decent ones.
Alice in Wonderland landscape
Carl's cane
Cinderella's carriage
A round doc hudson disc
RARE DUMBO MOUNT WHOOP WHOOP
Mike's Car *TRU exclusive for now
Mickey's Jalopy

God I love looking at pictures people post
Even though I'll have all the stuff in my hands soon enough, I just love seeing the pics people take of this stuff.I really hope I get one of the Nightmare Before Christmas discs in one of my packs >_< that sky looked so awesome when I saw it.

Well, I have 12 of 20 of the non-TRU disks.

It's exciting coming into this thread and seeing all of the photos. I'm hoping for Tron related discs. Will have my fingers crossed when I pick up some boosters later in the week when it launches here.
Not bad...I wonder what the Scrooge's Lucky Dime one is all about.
Edit: Looking at what's shown...I'm guessing the Nightmare Before Christmas disc is not part of the first wave. I'm surprised they showed it in that giantbomb quick look so long ago...

Got back from Walmart with great success!
3 packs were $15, and they matched Target for the playlets! So that's $65 for all 3-packs and sets. So I guess I'll just keep the singles I get through my Amazon preorder. Even the minimal restocking or shipping fee will be pennies compared to the crazy savings today has yielded.

Curiosity got the better of me, so I'm leaving the excursion with a Wii U Starter Pack (with 20% off coupon), Violet/Dash, two Disc pack things (all from TRU), Lone Ranger playset from Target, and then back-ordered in-store pickup of the two three-packs at Wal-Mart (which, based on their anemic stock at this stage, is listing 23rd/29th).
Toys R Us is definitely the flagship: nearly an entire aisle of stock, with tons of every figure, tons of the exclusive, and sizable stock of each of the different versions (although heavy on Wii, which I'm guessing they're basing on Skylanders sales patterns). There was one couple buying one before me - I saw minimal evidence any large number of people had been there. Target was lighter in terms of stock (and appeared to have taken the Cars playsets off the shelves unless they had sold out in the hour they were open).
All told, happy to have saved like $75 off MSRP. A little ashamed I spent $130 on a single game (albeit with some new office trinkets as part of the bargain). Thanks to those in the thread whose deals/chatter forced my hand on this one.

Anyone get any other Target exclusive discs besides Mike's car? I only bought one of their packs and I got it but stupid me left behind my crystal car so I got to go back and I'm not sure if I should pick up more or just the regular packs. Don't want to get a bunch of his car.
Oh and I have an extra Carl Fredricksen's Cane so I'll be able to trade later if anyone's interested.

Thanks for this! Is selling cool too, or just trading? I'm thinking a 1$ for each one seems fair, considering you get two for 5 bucks total, and they're random.

I'm assuming you mean TrU not Target, but every TrU exclusive disc pack has Mike's Car. That's the only exclusive disc for now. So just buy one of those and any others get the regular disc packs.
Selling would be between you and whoever you're pm'ing. If you're both up for it, then why not?

That has to be really common, since i got 2 as well, and i only had 2 packs and my starter. CANES FOR EVERYONE!

Oh God, I'm considering going back to TRU for more power disk packs.

Urg tru had no Lone Ranger sets. Target is all out... So now I'm waiting at Walmart for an employee to come in and pull one out of the back. Sheesh!
I got everything except for the Lone Ranger set for 220. That's including 12 power packs and the limited lighting from TRU. Not sure how lol!

Exactly the same way I feel. I did have a rage moment today when I opened one and it had two Finding Nemo sky themes. That's just mean Disney...

Not sure if this was asked, but is there a point to buying more than one of the TRU exclusive disc packs? Does each one contain mike's car and then a random disc? Or is there a chance you DONT get Mike's car.
So far, everything I've read is people getting Mike's car in the exclusive pack. My exclusive pack had Mike's car as well (and is the reason I only purchased one).

Here is a quick look at the contents of the starter pack and then the opening moments.

What did you guys bring to target to price match Walmart?

That castle opening is amazing looking
Just got back from my Infinity trip, spent a good bit of money today, but as a hardcore Disney fan, it was all worth it. I am excited to get started on this game, and if it wasn't for homework, our yearly fantasy football draft this afternoon (I'm the commish, yo!) and Breaking Bad, I'd be playing this bad boy right now.
I do have to complain about a scalper at Walmart. I preordered the game at GameStop (good friend is the manager, so I like to help him with preorders!) and then went to Walmart, intending to have them price match the Lone Ranger and Cars playsets. I get there, and there is one other dude in the section, grabbing every LR and Cars set, and loading them into his cart. He bought 7 of each, cleaned the shelf out, and just grinned like a douche at me. He price matched them, and left. I informed him what a POS I thought he was, and his response was "I'm a piece of shit that's going to make a lot of money..."
Douchebags man...
Anyhow, I picked around 8 power disc packs, and all the available characters. Ready to give Disney my money, hope I'm rewarded with a good fun game!
BTW is there a trading thread for the Power Discs, or do I need to make one and manage a Google Doc? Let me know, I have some extras I want to trade!! Thanks!

Just don't let folk like that get to you
Cocks like that ruin things for most others but if making a couple of hundred dollars is so much of a big deal to them then fuck em

So is the Wii U version legit or is it a half-assed port by a B-team?

Can be boosts, can be items for Toy Box, can be terrain and sky boxes for the toy box.
